Teacher Guide
The students need to think of the word that fits in each gap. Review the form of the present perfect beforehand if they are not confident with it already. Have them read the completed text out loud and ask them if any parts don't sound natural to them - then explain those parts and give further examples.
15mins - Conversation: Split the class into pairs, and assign each student the role of 'Student A' or 'Student B'.
Student A: You are about to attend a job interview for an international sports event in Canada. The job will be one of the following: office administrator, interpreter, first-aid worker, or cook. You really want a job, but you don't know which one you might get. Spend a few minutes thinking about the sort of skills you might need for each position.
Student B: You are going to interview someone for a job at an international sports event in Canada. Tell the interviewee what the job involves (choose one: office administrator, interpreter, first-aid worker, or cook). Ask the interviewee about relevant experience, qualifications, general commitment, and suitability for the job you have in mind. Decide on a scale of 0-5 how the interviewee has performed, according to these criteria: Experience, qualifications, commitment, interpersonal skills, and enthusiasm.

1) Read through the text to get a sense of what it's about.
2) Read THROUGH the gap. This means continue reading until you've arrived to a full stop at the end of a sentence. This will help you find the context.
3) Think about what type of word is needed in the blank space. What part of speech is missing?
4) Double check to see if the word should be single, plural, past, present, etc.
5) Spelling counts!
6) Do not leave any blank spaces. If you don't know the right answer, guess.
